In addition to the hosted service we now offer a locally installable edition of byteCommerce.
This is a product that you purchase once, install on your own server (or hosting space) where you have the rest of your site,
and completely manage the store on your own, without relying on any other third party service.
While the hosted service is definitely great for small- to mid-sized businesses, as it allows them to start selling online
in minutes without paying anything upfront, the locally installable product is the best option for serious
and professional authors who sell a successful product or digital good, and don't
want to leave anything as commission to external services (except to PayPal itself of course).
Please read below the advantages over the hosted service, the list of requirements you must satisfy to
install the product on your space, and the full list of features.
Purchase "byteCommerce Local Version" now, download it immediately, and be independent!

Advantages over the hosted service
 |
No commissions, ever => just pay PayPal's standard fees |
|
Products' files stay on the same server as byteCommerce => faster downloads |
|
Perfect integration into your site's look & feel => better user experience, as customers only leave the site for the actual payment (on PayPal) |
|
You own the database => run backups with your own schedule, write custom code to analyze the data, and more |
Requirements
|
Windows-based hosting |
|
ASP.NET 2.0 + AJAX |
